breathing problems

Tomorrow's semi between Djokovic and Nadal might be the match of the year so far. Were Nadal to lose he would drop to #3 behind Novak. But Nadal has always responded very well to pressure in the past. Djokovic, on the other hand, is prone to breathing problems, wasted set points, and dizziness.

Still, Novak's incredible ability to hug the baseline on clay, and his powerful backhand (less vulnerable than Roger's to Rafa's high kicking lefty forhands) should put Nadal under a lot of pressure. I just hope the boys play well and remember to breath. Should be a good one.
